of direct contact of the chorion with the maternal blood and

The placenta is attached to the uterine wall and establishes
connection between the mother and fetus through the
umbilical cord. The fact that maternal and fetal tissues come in
direct contact without rejection suggest immunological
acceptance of the fetal graft by the mother.

Implantation :
Once the blastocyst makes contact with the endometrian,
the trophoblast layer adheres to the endometrial, surface and
the process of placentation beings. By 10 days the blastocyst is
completely buried in the endometrie, which is now called the
deciduas.
Chorionic Villi :
Initially the blastocyst appears to be covered by fine downy
hair, which consists of the projections form the trophoblastic
layer. These proliferate and branch from about 3 weeks after
fertilization, forming the chorionic villi. The portion of deciduas
surrounding the blastocyst, where it projects into the uterine
cavity, is known as the deciduas capsularis. The villi erode the
walls of maternal blood vessels as they penetrate the deciduas,
opening them upto from a lake of maternal blood in which they
float. The opened blood vessels are known as sinuses, and the

areas surrounding the villi as blood spaces. The maternal blood
circulates slowly, enabling the villi to absorb food nad oxygen
and excrete waste. These are known as the nutritine villi. A
few villi more deeply attached to the deciduas and are called
anchoring villi.

present , separate from the main placenta, and joined it by
blood vessels that run through the membranes to reach it. The
danger is that this small lobe may be retained in utero after the
placenta is delivered, and if it is not removed, it may lead to
infection and haemorrhage. Every placenta must be examined
for evidence of a retained succenturiat lobe, which can be
identified by a hole in the membranes with vessels running to
it.
In circumvallate placenta an opaque ring in seen on the fetal
surface of the placenta. It is formed by a doubling back of the
chorion and amnion and may result in the membranes leaving
the placenta reaner the centre instead of at the edge as usual.
This placental variation is associated with prematurity, prenatal
bleeding, abruption, multiparity and early fluid loss.
Placenta is the only organ to develop in adulthood and is the only one with a defined end day. The structure
of placenta has a strong relation with pregnancy length, physical milieu of mother and resemblance to the concept of
imhotep’(regarded as the first medicolegal expert) showing relation between forensic medicine histology, morphology and
pathology. Anemia in pregnancy is found to be associated with variable histomorphological changes in placenta, which
show a clear reflexion for the poor fetal out come. There is a threshold for the level of hemoglobin and consequently for
oxygen transport below which placental function is impaired. This explains the increased frequency of premature births,
fetal death and perinatal mortality and morbidity in anemia during pregnancy. The histomorpological findings of placenta
in anemic mothers which are an adaptation to maternal hypoxia can corelate with the poor fetal outcome giving a
documentary evidence and explanation against false Implications of neonatal deaths. This makes placenta as the much
required tool of present medicolegal scenario.
SUMMARY:
The fact that maternal and fetal tissues come in direct contact without rejection suggest immunological
acceptance of the fetal graft by the mother.Within a few days of fertilization, the zygote developes into a blastocyst, a
spherical structure composed of two distinct cell types, the inner cell mass, which will develop into the fetus and an outer
ring of trophoblast cells. The placenta performs a variety of function for the developing fetus. That is respiration,
nutrition, storage, excretion, protection, and endocrine.At term the placenta is round flat mass about 20cm in diameter
and 2-5cm thich at its centre. It weights approximately one sixth of the babys weigh.A succenturiate lobe of placenta is
the most significant of the variations inconfirmation of the placenta. A small extra lobe is,present , separate from the
main placenta, and joined it by blood vessels that run through the membranes to reach it.
